Some 1,685 customers were without power near the western part of Brea on Sunday. Edison cited equipment problems on Berry Street and Crestwood Lane at 1:45 p.m. Officials did not have an estimated restoration time. City police advised people go to the Brea Community Center if they need services.

A total of 351 people were in the dark in Orange and 81 people in Mission Viejo. Power was expected to come back on by 11:30 p.m. in Mission Viejo and 12:30 a.m. in Orange, according to Southern California Edison.

In Stanton, 17 customers lost power, expected to be restored by 1 a.m. In Santa Ana 38 people had no electricity, expected to be restored by 11:30 p.m.

A “Flex Alert” was called for 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday by the California Independent System Operator (Cal-ISO), the state agency that matches private and public electricity generating resources to the amount of demand.

A Flex-Alert is a request for voluntary electric conservation measures, including consumers turning off in unnecessary lighting, postponing the use of major appliances like hot tubs, washing machines and dryers, and setting air conditioning thermostats to 78 degrees or higher.

The weekend scorcher is expected to spread to the early days of the week, according to the National Weather Service. A heat advisory will be in place until Monday evening in the coastal areas and until Tuesday for inland parts of Orange County.

Coastal areas have not been spared by the heat, said meteorologist Jimmy Taeger.

“They could definitely break records today,” he said on Sunday. Newport Beach is projected to hit 86 degrees Monday.

On Saturday, the heat wave knocked out power to 10,000 homes in Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Yorba Linda, Orange, Fullerton and Coto de Caza. MainPlace mall in Santa Ana and other businesses also were affected.
